[Intro]
[Chorus]
Dear pen & pad can you make me feel better
It's been a long time since I wrote you a letter
Dear pen & pad can you make feel right
Please give me strength, everyday is a fight
Dear pen & pad can you make me feel better
It's been a long year since I wrote you a letter
Dear pen & pad can you make me feel whole
Life's passing by and I'm only getting old
[Verse 1]
I see soldiers in war, out in foreign lands/
Coming back no thin but blood on their hands/
Aids rise in Africa, land mines in Asia/
Nuclear war is now two close neighbours/
All want now - is peace, equality/
A stable economy, government apology/
Tired of the ignorance, influence, insolence/
Crazy world ridiculous, death by innocence/
Nothing even changes, it rages with doubt/
Covering the earth as a thunder-clap sounds/
Babies born die, mothers are in vain/
The pain that we feel, will never ever change/
Living, breathing, we're searching for a meaning/
Feeling, dying, the close ones are crying/
Seeing through my eyes, it makes me wonder why/
We push out the bad in these really harsh times/
Poverty, disease, corruption & greed/
Money grows evil stems out the seed/
Guns draw blood, knifes take lives/
People on the streets, don't even think twice/
When I hear the news, I fill with remorse/
Media & TV don't help with thoughts/
Everyday I wake, I fill with regret/
I wanna make a change but I know I can't help/
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
As I turn the page, I've seen much drama/
Real acts of terror to good-will and karma/
Wars being fought, less kids being taught/
Killers on the loose, politicians being bought/
Never getting caught, it's only getting worse/
Watch tax rise as our population bursts/
Hunger's still rife an it's worse on rise/
Impose a new a law just to make us feel poor/
Invest it in arms, bombs, guns /
You wonder why the World hates everything you've done/
Forcing your power, demanding respect/
The only thing you gave, is more and more debt/
All around the world, we're all out work/
All out of pocket, struggle just to earn/
Nature declines, we grow in evolution/
Life's getting short, clogged in pollution/
As I sit back, I look around the Earth/
I wonder if life, has really lost worth/
Evil, hatred, torture and violence/
Fear, envy, the opposite of kindness/
What's with humanity, full of hostility/
No generosity, selfish philosophy/
Will it ever change, I ask to myself/
Dear Pen & Pad, I wonder can you help?/
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
As I write you this letter, my mind is concerned/
Things are atrocious, it's awful to learn/
Hope and despair, recession in effect/
Focus aware on the eyes of the West/
The rest, ignored just to fend for themselves/
Engage with the other, fight for the wealth/
Middle-east warfare, suicide act/
Kamikaze style strapped with a backpack/
Belief, conviction, driven by their faith/
Assume that they're safe to the god that they pray/
Opposed to the enemy in every other way/
Separate, segregate, so full of hate/
A target to the system, innocents are victim/
If they really die, does anybody miss them?/
It's a shame that we all think this way/
If you could change would you really turn the page?/
Would you make an effort, help out the poor/
I know we can't cure, we must do more/
Aid, assist, support and provide/
Boost and improve, amend and supply/
When I hear the news, I fill with remorse/
Media & TV don't help with thoughts/
Everyday I wake, I fill with regret/
I wanna make a change but I know I can't help/
(I wanna make a change but I know I can't help)
(I wanna make a change but I know I can't help)
(Chorus)
